I dunno, to me he seems to have a genuine, infectious love for the game and everything about it. Sure there has been a few times where he might have said something that comes across as arrogant, but they could be unintentional, or a result of him being put on the spot in an interview.

I guess it's possible that he's a psychopath who manipulates his image and is an all-round cunt as soon as the cameras go off. But at the moment, I just don't see it.

they say he was a hothead when he was Young and playing Juniors, and there is one Story where he might have trown a fit in a drug store cause they didn't have something he ordered and wanted to pick up. But other than that there isn't much hate going around for him.

I'm sure there is more to him that this mr. perfect Image he has. There must, but him being a cunt is far off. Also we shoulnd't Forget that all interviews you see is him speaking a foreign language.

Smug and arrogant, I can definitely see. That doesn't make him a cunt though imo. And some of that may be a language thing, if I'm being generous.

I remember a post match interview when he beat Roddick and while Federer was trying to sound magnanimous he said something like, "I am sure you will win it one day". Roddick looked like he might go over and punch him. He always sounds a little patronising in victory.

I still think this is something that has to do with Translation. You will win it one day, or one day will be your day is something we say to cheer someone up. Or the day will come when you will be the winner.
It is suposed to mean that the other Person is good enough for it, but was just not lucky enough today, but could be at any other day.

I don't think he means it the way you guys are calling it out. But yeah again, what do you want to say in such a Moment. you ain't shit, so you lost.
